Underrated games from VGA 2019

Best Sports/Racing Game

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Crash Team Racing plays and feels like a time-capsule back to the early 2000s. And with local and online co-op and a plethora of game modes like battle mode and challenge modes, Nitro-Fueled is a must-try for anyone looking for a fun kart-racer to try out.

Best Independent Game

Disco Elysium

Disco Elysium is a top-down RPG game, which has some of the most interesting playable characters ever made in a video game. The number of narrative-arcs and dialogue options available to players has also been applauded as being a unique take on a dying genre.

Games for Impact

Gris

A tiny platformer with a lot of heart, Gris is pleasing to the senses, with its ambient sounds and vibrant backdrops. It’s been recognised at VGA 2019 as the winner of the Games for Impact category because of its inventive portrayal of the five-stages of grief and loss.

Best VR/AR Game

Beat Saber

Beat Saber’s victory in the VR/AR category just solidifies the fact that VR isn’t just a gimmick. Beat Saber is a fun and charged up slice-n-dice experience that everyone should have, and it’s THE reason to get a PSVR.

Best Mobile Game

Call of Duty: Mobile

Move over PUBG Mobile, COD’s sophomore attempt at mobile gaming has been a success. It is after all the franchise’s best moments all rolled into one and it’s got Black Op’s classic zombie mode too. Oh and don’t forget Battle Royale.
